And before anybody accuses me of a Godwin’s violation, yes, I compared BO to the Nazis and I stand by it because it’s valid.

What they are doing to the economy fits the fascist model. There’s no podium pounding, nifty uniforms, or genocide, but the handling of business is the same.

Fascists set up public/private partnerships by making “offers that can’t be refused” to big business, thereby co-opting them. This is what Mussolini and Hitler did, and BO is doing the same. This time, it’s fascism with a metro-sexual egghead veneer, but we’re headed for a fascist economy just the same, and the negative effects of personal liberty are coming right along with it.
